JabRef 4.0-dev
Linux 4.4.0-92-generic amd64
Java 1.8.0_131

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open group interface. (Groups -> toggle groups interface)
  2. Create a group
  3. Add an item to the group
  4. Right click on the group in the group interface -> remove group and subgroups

The group gets removed but the reference to it in the BibTeX source of each item that was in the group does not. (i.e. groups = {abc}).
This causes an unstable state where jabref might freeze if you try adding that item to another group because of a null pointer.

This is a bug. It is reproducible. While removing or changing group name from entry editor works fine but from groups menu it shows unexpected behaviour.
